Passportivity Client’s Reviews
Thank you, Passportivity. The lawyers stayed with me throughout the entire process of obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa: they obtained an individual tax number in Portugal for me by power of attorney and then helped me conclude an apartment lease agreement.
Most importantly, a Passportivity representative went with me to submit the documents to the migration authority so that everything would go smoothly. It was all worth it: I obtained the visa 4 months after contacting the company.
With Passportivity’s help, I applied for the Portugal Golden Visa, bought investment fund units, and started waiting for approval. Under the law, the authorities were supposed to review the application within 90 working days, but I waited for a year and nothing moved forward.
Passportivity lawyers suggested that I file a petition so that the court would oblige the migration authority to make a decision on the residence permit application, and took over all the paperwork. A lawyer represented my interests in court, and I did not need to travel to Portugal.
Without your help, I would never have decided to do this. Thank you very much. Now I am only waiting for approval of the application: I was told that it can no longer be rejected.
Thank you for helping me add my daughter to the Portugal Golden Visa application. When I obtained my residence permit, I was in a hurry and decided not to include family members in the application. But now my daughter has passed the entrance exams to the University of Lisbon, and I wanted her to study calmly without worrying about the difficulties of obtaining a student visa.
My daughter obtained a residence permit in 8 months: the lawyers planned everything, prepared the documents, submitted the application to AIMA, and booked her biometrics appointment. Everything went well. My daughter moved to Lisbon and studies Portuguese philology. I have already recommended the Passportivity team to my acquaintances more than once.
